Having never been on the S and M scene my knowledge rubber and it's properties is limited to well, er, if you drop it it bounces. Since I started vaping rubber has come into my life on a daily basis. (Yes I know O rings aren't strictly rubber per say but for the sake of keeping it simple let's just say their made of rubber) One fine day I'm excitedly drawing Inawera Eucalyptus Menthol into my syringe, this stuff smells good, how's it gonna vape? Up goes the rubber headed plunger, then push down. No hang on, it's not going down, push harder man, show it who's boss. It will not budge, it really won't. End of story. Why so? Well in my dim brain I begin to put two and two together, the, er, "Rubber" on the end of the plunger has expanded so much it's jammed the plunger head. And exactly where are you going to put your Eucalyptus Menthol? Well into your tank, and whats in your tank children? Fucking Rubber you idiot .Of course in my wisdom I proceeded to put the concentrate (after I'd got hold of a syringe without a Rubber headed plunger) into my tanks and guess what? That's exactly where problems begin. The Merlin immediately went into a huff and threw its top center O ring out, dam thing expanded and positively refused to go back in, the Kayfun 5 clones just shrugged and got harder to turn, but the Kanger Protank 4 became, well, obstinate, as in trying to turn the top side fill mechanism. So I looked up "Rubber" on Google and weirdly if you boil it it shrinks, counter intuitive for sure but hey, gave it a try and Voila my Kanger now turns around, albeit not the same as before, but better than than it was after Inewara Eucalyptus touched it's "Rubber"
